I have…arrived!
Toei announced that the crew of the Den-Liner would be returning for another time-tripping ride, and while the world COVID crisis delayed the release of this feature film, a new promotional material’s been making the rounds online revealing a new magical girl themed character being added to the roster: Kamen Rider Pretty Den-O!
The movie follows Anna, a 10-year-old girl, who runs away from home after an argument with her mother. For an unknown reason, she is later chased by Shocker. Then she manages to hop onto DenLiner, known as the train that crosses time. She gets off during 1989 – the first year of the Heisei Era and has a great adventure with and others.
The movie will premiere in Japan August 14, 2020
Last night was the official Toei press conference for the newest Kamen Rider hero, so we now have a plethora of new information on the adventures of Kamen Rider Saber!
The series will be directed by longtime Kamen Rider veteran Takayuki Shibasaki while the main writer this time around is Takuro Fukuda– previously known for Kamen Rider Ghost.
A brief story outline was included in the conference: Kamen Rider Saber features a world based on fairy tales & fantasy adventures colliding with our own, centered over conflict with The Book– a legendary artifact that contains unparalleled powers and secrets. In ancient times, a sinister group known as Megiddo came forth to take The Book for themselves- as a result of the conflict, chapters of The Book were scattered across the world (becoming the WonderRide Books seen in toy listings). A collection of heroes known as the Sword Of Logos unites to fight the evildoers and reclaim The Book. The battles between both groups will throw the world into chaos- with people and places vanishing between worlds.
*Kamen Rider Saber’s true name is Touma Kamiyama (played by new actor Shuichiro Naito), a novelist and owner of the Fantastic Kamiyama Bookstore. An encounter with the Sword Of Fire Rekka grants him the power of Kamen Rider Saber.
This will be another year with multiple Riders- with a total of FIVE in the main cast from the start! According to comments from the writing team at the conference, the total number of Kamen Riders in this series may be over TEN.
*Secondary Rider is the hero Kamen Rider Blades (not “Blaze” as previously translated) also known as Rintaro Shindo (played by Takaya Yamaguchi)- he wields the Sword of Water Nagare and is very dedicated to rules and order.
*Third in the lineup is Kamen Rider Espada! This Rider features white and yellow armor; his signature element is lightning powered by the Sword of Lightning Ikazuchi. Espada’s real name is Kento Fukamiya (portrayed by Ryo Aoki); he and Saber are childhood friends.
*The fourth Rider is Kamen Rider Kenzan! Kenzan is a green Rider who uses the Sword of Wind Hayate for powerful cyclone attacks. Kenzans’ civilian identity is Ren Akamichi (played by Eiji Togashi); he is described as a man with high self-esteem who views Saber as a rival.
*Finally, the fifth Rider is Kamen Rider Caliber! This is the only Rider whose real face & identity remain unrevealed; Caliber is a traitor to the Sword of Logos and now works with Megiddo to gain the power of The Book for himself. Caliber works alongside the Megiddo enforcer Storius– creator of the Alter Book that he plans to use to rewrite history.
The Sword of Logos was founded by Sophia– played by Rina Chinen an ancient mystic who seeks to restore the balance of the worlds. Sophia has an aide named Tetsuo (portrayed by actor Hiroasa Naka who helps maintain the weapons and vehicles for Kamen Riders.
Kamen Rider Saber’s opening theme will be performed by the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra along with another musical guest who remains unrevealed at time of writing. The series will also feature an ENDING theme, something absent from Kamen Rider since Hibiki.
Kamen Rider Saber officially begins September 6 2020!
A handful of new images have been released online detailing the further adventures of Mashin Sentai Kiramager!
Taking center stage this month is the newest Mashin in the Kiramagers’ arsenal: Mashin Zabyun! Created from the Aqua KirameStone this new Mashin is a train with shark-like characteristics.
When fighting alongside the Mashin Express, Zabyun can be used to create a new Mecha Combo- King Express Zabyun! This new combination is faster and stronger than the standard King Express, able to destroy enemies with powerful water attacks.
But the news is not all good- a dark fate is in store for Kirame Silver as he undergoes a startling transformation apparently caused by a new model Shiny KirameChanger. Only time will tell what truly happens…
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Sentai reveals!
Some new high quality images have been released giving us our best look yet at the newest Kamen Rider hero- Kamen Rider Saber!
Kamen Rider Saber draws power from the Seiken SworDriver and the strange artifacts known as WonderRide Books.
There are 3 type of WonderRide Books-
*Divine Creature
*Sacred Animal
*Fairy Tale
Sabers’ signature Book is the Divine Creature Brave Dragon which grants powerful fire attacks.
Kamen Rider Saber has 2 more WonderRide Books in his arsenal:
*Peter Fantasia transforms Saber into Kamen Rider Saber Dragon Peter
*Jack & The Beanstalk unlocks the Kamen Rider Saber Dragon Jackun form.
And Saber will not be fighting alone! A second Rider has been officially confirmed in these early scans- Kamen Rider Blaze! Blaze uses the Sacred Animal Lion Senki WonderRide Book to transform; his forms have a Water element in contrast to Sabers’ fire.
Finally, 3 WonderRide Books based on Sabers’ predecessor Kamen Rider Zero-One are included in the scans! These Books are the Hidden Story Of Hidden, A.I.M.S. Animal File & Metsuboujinrai Monsters.

One interesting Super Sentai item has been discovered among this months’ magazine pages- a teaser image for a new Mashin Sentai Kiramager Mecha!
This appears to be the configuration listed as Zabyu-N in previous toy listings. The Mecha is a modified version of the King Express– featuring an updated design for Mashin Express and no longer requiring the Smog Jouki to complete the combination.
Be sure to join in our Ongoing Kiramager Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on this new entry in the Kiramagers’ arsenal!
After some early teasers and a lot of speculation, we have our first look at the second Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Saber!
Kamen Rider Saber transforms using the Seiken SworDriver– which is also his primary weapon.
Sabers’ powers come from WonderRide Books which offer new powers or transformations when used in the Driver. Kamen Rider Sabers’ signature Book is Brave Dragon. Two other WonderRides are shown for Saber- Peter Fantasista and Jack & The Beanstalk.
A SECOND Rider is also teased- this character is known as Kamen Rider Blaze! Blaze transforms using the Lion Chronicles WonderRide Book.

A recent trademark filing has revealed the official logo for the next Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Saber!
The characters used for this logo formation translate to “Holy Blade.” This has led to fan speculation that Kamen Rider Saber will be a more mythical-themed series as opposed to the technology-based Kamen Riders of recent years. Sadly, story information for this new series remains unavailable at this time.
